Democratization

To promote active citizenship and youth involvement in local communities, the Programme Office runs a civic education programme for high school students and young adults in remote areas of the country. The Programme Office helps Tajikistan further develop its electoral and political processes so they are in line with international standards and the country’s commitments on civil and political rights. It also offers a platform for open political discussions with government officials and civil society. Such events are held all over the country, and issues discussed cover the spectrum of social, economic, political, and cultural rights.
